I guess another of its common names "Cabbage Palm Fern" makes a lot of sense to us here in Florida.
Definitely a skipper. I think a Whirlabout, but I have a very hard time with the ID of these little brown/ orange ones.

Here's another site

It's a needlefish ( family Belonidae). Problem is, we have 5 species around FL: Keeltail Needlefish, Flat Needlefish, Redfin Needlefish, the Timucu, and Houndfish. They are very hard to tell apart. The Timucu and Houndfish are much more common in shallow inshore waters.
You are right. Or Crevalle Jack (Caranx hippos)

It's a Great Egret, Snowies have black bills and yellow feet.
Well this skipper is actually lunch...of that big yellow crab spider between it and the center of the flower!!!!
Ah yes, agree Britsnana. From the species represented in bugguide looks like D. andromeda, to me.

I'm not sure about this tiny tiny guy ( it's on a blade of grass right?). Might be a little beetle or bug, but I'll tell you what it reminded me of... A Globular Springtail. But I don't see any with that color pattern.

This one is a worker. Many of the ones in the bugguide page I suggested look different because they are queens. Here is a nice link, scroll down to the photos. Southern Yellowjacket worker is the first photo on the left.
